Bernhoven Hospital in Uden is in financial trouble. As a result, 100 to 120 full-time jobs will be lost. In addition, the hospital must start working together with another hospital or nursing and care home in the region to deal with the problems.
A so-called master plan, which must be completed by 1 March of this year, must ensure that the hospital becomes vital and financially healthy again. The major process will take two years.
20 million has to be cut every year. This will cut 100 to 120 full-time jobs, mainly in support services. In practice, more people may lose their jobs because not everyone works full-time. Productivity and efficiency within the hospital are also increased.
In December, the previous director of the hospital resigned due to financial problems. Hans Feenstra took over from him as interim director. His most important assignment: working on a ‘financially sustainable business model’ for the Bernhoven hospital.
